Story: The story is pretty straight forward, a girl going around looking for a boyfriend. Doesn’t sound too exciting, except for the fact that anyone who has been through high school can easily relate to the situations. It’s almost as if Wataru Yoshizumi might have been writing about her own high school experiences.
Art: Yoshizumi is an amazing artist. The work for this was absolutely phenomenal. Her art style is pretty quince as well, so you don’t become bored with the art very easily. Yoshizumi also has an amazing talent for fashion, which keeps you reading just to see what cute clothes Yuka was going to bring out next. I found myself wanting her wardrobe every time she came out with a new outfit. (This is pretty special since I’m not into fashion much.)
Characters: The great thing about these characters is that you probably went to high school with someone like them. They all act like normal high school teenagers, suffering from the pressures of relationships and studies. They all have talents, but there’s nothing that makes them superhuman.
Enjoyment: It was really nice just reading about normal people for once. In all, it was pretty predictable, and yet still subtle in some ways. There were some parts that seemed to be lagging just a bit, but other than that it was really good.
Random Walk is one of those stories that you need to be in the mood to read, or else you’re just going to get fed up with it. So, next time you’re in the mood to read a cute romance story, go pick up Random Walk!
